THING 21. NING

I joined 23 Things on a Stick on Ning. I am member #405. I've left comments for other members. I read the Webjunction and Gather articles. On the Gather website I read posts in their Money, Health, and Food sections. What I found really interesting is that Gather has Gather Points. You somehow accumulate Gather Points and are rewarded with a gift card from Amazon.com, Starbucks, Target and others, or you can get cash. Gather also has Stefanie Plum. Not Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, but a real person who is on the Gather Partner Team and has her group Gather Giveaways.

I have looked at several other social networking sites, but haven't signed up. Facebook and Ning are enough for me right now.

THING 20. FACEBOOK

I can't believe I now have a Facebook account. I value my privacy. I don't want people finding me on the Internet. But it's there. I started with 2 friends. Now I have 8. I write on friends' walls and they write on mine. Facebook has altered my routine. After checking email, I check Facebook. I have to admit it's fun looking at my friends' Facebook pages. But I can see how frequently updating my site and checking others' can eat up the time.

This is the first Thing I've signed up for that has ads on my page. You can choose your friends but not the ads.
